Adult Learning Awards 2022

We were finally able to hold our Adult Learning Awards ceremony in person last week after two years of the pandemic.

It was a wonderful celebration of the hard work of our learners, our tutors and our support staff.

Over 60 learners were nominated for an award and their stories tell us about the huge barriers they have overcome, the commitment required, the difference that the achievements have made to their lives and, in many cases, the opportunities that have subsequently opened up. 

Cabinet Member for Education and Skills presented the awards to our winners who were:

Skills Learner of the Year: Mohammed Aziz

Community Learning Learner of the Year: Elizabeth Fleeman

Learning for Personal Development Learner of the Year: Jonathan Dews

Apprentice of the Year: Scarlett Grimsdale

Trainee of the Year: Kaydon Crowe

Skills Tutor of the Year: Dini Taylor, Maths
